Any method to "steeping" Cartos?

[KDude]

Sorry if this is slightly unrelated, but I'm relatively new to ecigs, and have a Halo G6 kit (I can't post in the Halo forum though). I bought some cartos of Torque 56, but it's nasty! I guess the taste is OK, but the smell almost makes me sick (whether the smell of the liquid itself or the smell on exhale). Needless to say, but it doesn't provide a good smoking experience when the odors themselves get in the way. I've read here and there about steeping juices, but since these came in carto form, I was wondering if there's anything to improve them.

Then again, maybe Torque just isn't for me. Since dabbling with 808 batteries, I've splurged on a BB, and VS Tampa (using a tank). I've also bought Halo's blank cartos and filled some with Tampa. It's pretty good.. like a Marlboro light. Could be better, but that's another story. I just have these other Torque carts laying around and would not want them to go to waste, if unnecessary.

Thanks in advance

The pre-filled carto's are already steep so I would venture to say that the taste of the Torque 56 isn't to your liking.

If it doesn't taste so good... hmmm why keep them.... Whether they come pre-steeped or not is another thing... depends on how old the juice is... I just got finished with a bottle from Freedomsmokeusa.... from December of 2011.. tasted amazing.. the new bottle I just got doesn't hold a candle to it.. Steeping works best for me where the liquid is exposed to air and in a cool dark place for a week or two minimum. I would check Freedomsmokeusa... they are in Tuscon AZ and have a zillion different flavors including tobacco types... ( I got away from wanting tobacco flavors less than 2 months into vaping) ... Good luck in your quest.

Thanks. I guess it isn't to my liking then.

That's good to know that prefilleds reflect intended flavors though. I might order samples from different places in carto form, if I can.

Leave it open to air for a few days, then try it. I did that with my prefilled cartos I didn't care for, and found that I did actually like them after doing so. Yes, they do steep with the plugs/condoms on, but the flavor does change when it is exposed to air for a while.
